Argentine football sensation Lionel Messi of Inter Miami will face former club and European champions Paris St Germain (PSG), in the last 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup in Atlanta on Sunday.
Messi, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez all played under PSG boss Luis Enrique in Barcelona and were in the side who knocked PSG out of the UEFA Champions League last 16 in the 2016-2017 season.
Inter Miami qualified for the last 16 of the Club World Cup as Group A runners-up with a 2-2 draw against Palmeiras on Monday. Suarez showed that at 38-year-old he still has the game to score on the big stage, notching Miami’s second in their draw with Palmeiras.
“If we make these mistakes against PSG we will pay a heavy price. Obviously, in this kind of tournament there is always going to be a favourite, that’s just a fact,” Inter Miami forward and Man of the Match Luis Suarez said.
“We’ll be facing the European champions and we will have to try and take our chances. Luis Enrique has seen many players and he influenced me a lot. I already had a competitive DNA but he made me even more competitive.”
PSG have certainly moved on from their traumatic Champions League exit in 2017, when they won the first leg in Paris 4-0 but were thrashed 6-1 in the return match in Barcelona.
The French side claimed their first Champions League title this season in a campaign masterminded by Luis Enrique, but Messi and Co. will be eager to cause another upset.
